No way justifying Dorner, he was an idiot douchenozzle who managed to everybody but those from the LAPD he had a problem with. I am also one of the first to laugh at pulled out of your ass conspiracy theories. But there is no way you can tell me they diidn't roast Dorner's ass intentionally. This was personal. He was a "dead man walking" the second he made law enforcement his intended target.

He did accomplish one goal though, he did expose the LAPD and the regional law enforcement as a whole in that area as I will just say not the most professional of operations.

Even if this does expose corruption and that Dorner was blackballed for doing the right thing, his actions do nothing to clear his name. His actions show that he was never "qualified" to be an officer in the first place. He was the psycho guy with the potential of going postal. The LAPD with their corruption just provided the stimulus to unleash the potential. From what you gather from his family and hish ex-girlfriend on the news, he was in many ways a "basket case" and he was even too much of a "basket case" for the LAPD, where normally that would be an assest.

Pick:I wonder who is going to pay for the house the cops burned down, but didn't set fire to, so they didn't really burn it down, but it burned down any way. I am sure the owners insurance company will find a reason not to pay.

Property insurance excludes police action as a standard limitation.

I.e., if you see somebody who resembles a fugitive running towards your house, you have EVEN MORE incentive to open fire wildly, instead of waiting for the police.

You might still get in trouble for "standing your ground," but at least you won't have the house torched down around you with no recourse whatsoever.

Giltric:I think the people trying to collect the reward could use the 2 situations where the cops shot at 2 vehicles without trying to confrim they were Dorners vehicle or that Dorner was even in them as proof that the police did not intend on capturing Dorner and convicting him.

They don't deserve a dime, because they were greedy. The LAPD's terms and conditions were right there on the reward offer.If you channel your inner Jane Fonder or Pole-During-Hitler-Invasion and drop a dime on someone being pursued by stormtroopers, don't pitch a biatch when the stormtroopers' antics turn on you.

/it would be a sad commentary if this was the watershed that made the pro-cop crowd turn against the LAPD//very sad commentary

meh, he's dead, LAPD is still a corrupt, lying, bigoted asshat organization. If you don't think the cops are out to get you for every possible dime they can take from fines and seizures, you're living in a dream world. The million will be lost to red tape and end up lining someone's pocket, making a very nice retirement, even if they are getting a pension, because as you know, more money is always better than less money. The guiding principle for the jurisdictions has been thus ever since the drug war turned into a for-profit venture, with the local counties getting to keep half of everything they take. If you think all the drugs are being burned, I'd love to come visit, because those must be some killer shrooms you are on.

OscarTamerz:Next up a suit for breach of contract with triple punitive damages. Good luck finding 12 or even 1 citizen that is going to side with the LAPD. How do they even walk after shooting themselves in the foot so many DAMN times?

What breach of contract? The cops said from the very beginning the tip had to lead to a conviction.

I wonder if someone could set up a graph or a chart of something, to determine what people's break points were in this fiasco:- the information about the LAPD finding evidence of a beatdown but determining it wasn't enough of a beatdown- the two old ladies- the white surfer dude- the dentist office- the number of cops treating all 40 cops on the hit list and their immediate families as if they were the First Family and they were the Secret Service- the twitter reports about the antics at the checkpoints- the announcement of drones- the scanner recordings- the report someone tried to surrender and was pushed back into the house- the fire all by itself- MONEY

It's not just the LAPD. A few years ago a cop was shot dead in Paterson, NJ after he interrupted an armed robbery at a fried chicken place. Cops offered a $10K reward for info about the shooter. Shooter's homeboy immediately dropped a dime on him. Cops picked up the shooter soon after. The snitch......helpful citizen showed up at police HQ looking for his $10K. Cops ran the informant's DL and found he had warrants for unpaid traffic fines and through him in jail.
